Abstract
Farmland monitoring is of great significance in precision agriculture. In this paper, we design a wireless sensor network to monitor farmland information, including air temperature and humidity, light intensity, soil moisture, soil PH value, and the growth of crops. We carry out an experiment in the cornfield of Hongzehu farm. It shows that the monitoring system is effective.
